Multisite set-up

Are we in Network mode, as in wp-config has define(‘MULTISITE’, true) and the other lines? If not, reenable Network mode. Now, can you get into Network admin? If so go to Settings -> Network Setup. If the .htaccess settings are there, repost them. If they don’t show then repost your .htaccess.

Hello Again!
I reposted the .htaccess
wp-config looks OK ( wp_debug is set to false???, all the rest are TRUE)
I can access Network Admin. but i cannot open the Dashboard or any other features of homefinder.magicdesign.ca, so I canet make the TEST. It just open the JustHost 404.

I’m confused. We are not concerned with getting into Site admin of homefinder, yet. Did you get into Network admin -> Settings -> Network Setup? In there, did you see the .htaccess settings or not? If you can’t get into Network admin -> Settings -> Network Setup, it probably won’t help to repost your .htaccess.

Yes Derrik, I can access Network Admin, and I copied the .htaccess settings and reposted, as you suggested.

his is the .htaccess on file now:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

.htaccess looks good for WP. You skipped over the suggestion above. Secondly, in your hosting configuration, can you confirm the default document settings for

homefinder.magicdesign.ca

? Try adding this line
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
to your .htaccess above and outside of the WP section.

I cannot figure out what exactly I skupped. I did follow all the sugestions to the best of my abbility.
I added the line to the TOP of the .htaccess file.
I do not see any change yet.

This is how .htaccess looks now:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

You also mentioned ” in your hosting configuration, can you confirm the default document settings for homefinder.magicdesign.ca” I do not know how to do it.

default document settings would be between you and your hosting provider. The webserver for
homefinder.magicdesign.ca just displayed this:

Index of /
    400.shtml
    401.shtml
    403.shtml
    404.shtml
    500.php
    500.shtml
    cgi-bin/
    default.html
    favicon.ico
    test.txt
Apache Server at homefinder.magicdesign.ca Port 80

What I can tell you from the above, is that homefinder.magicdesign.ca and www.magicdesign.ca are pointed at two different physical locations, folders. All your subdomains must arrive at the same folder with the same WP index.php before WordPress can have a chance at delivering the content you expect it to.

We also know now that the DNS is OK, or at least it was when I got the index of files you see above.

Sorry I can’t help you with your hosting. You need to study more yourself, or talk your hosting provider into helping you, or talk a friend into helping you out, or you need to hire some tech help with a little WP experience.

Thank you very much Derrick for your time and patience.
I had the chance to learn a lot from you and I am grateful for that.
I guess I have to keep learning.

this is an awesome post Abaris
